Authorities have released a surveillance video of a home invasion and shooting at a home in northeast Harris County last month.

The incident occurred about 12:15 p.m. July 16 in the 11000 block of Abby Ridge Way near Elk Forest Trail, officials said.

Officials said a man was leaving his house and his garage door was open when two suspects approached him. The first suspect brandished a handgun and demanded money, jewelry and other valuables. The victim said he had nothing of value in the home, but the gunman fired one shot, grazing the man's head.

Officials say the two suspects then walked through the house, gathering items.

A surveillance camera recorded the suspects' images. The suspects sped away in a light blue Dodge Caravan with a dent in the rear door.

One of the suspects is described as black and between 20 years old and 25 years old. He is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighed about 170 pounds. He wore a purple shirt and tan shorts.

The other suspect is described as black and between 25 years old and 30 years old. He is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed about 180 pounds. He wore a red baseball cap, a white shirt and red shorts.
